Which expression is not equivalent to the other three? a) −9 − 7n + 16n b) 9(n − 9) eliminate c) n − 9 + 8n d) 9n − 9

The expression is not equivalent to other three is 9(n-9) .

Option (B) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Take first expression

= -9 -7n + 16n

= 9n-9

Take second expression

= 9(n-9)

= 9 × n - 9 × 9

= 9n - 81

Take third expression

= n-9+8n

= 9n-9

Take fourth expression

= 9n-9

Therefore expression is not equivalent to other three is 9(n-9) .

Option (B) is correct .

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
